P1: Jesus christ, have you heard about those retrogressivists trying to get Project 2025 to work?
P2: Yeah, it's seriously ludicrous what they're trying to do. I'd just vote for a 3rd party.
P1: Me too, both candidates feel like nutcases.

Epistism, from episteme, the Greek word for "knowledge," would signify the personal responsibility and ethical obligation to seek accurate, well-rounded knowledge before forming opinions or making statements. It captures the duty to be informed by actively researching and questioning claims, especially when it comes to topics that affect others or carry societal weight.
An epistist would be someone who believes that every person has a moral obligation to pursue verified knowledge, especially when encountering potentially misleading or manipulative information. This (most importantly) includes being critical of sources like the GOP or DNC, as their narratives can often be biased or tailored to fit a specific agenda.

P1: "I heard that hormone blockers cause irreparable harm to your kids body, and almost every trans kid is doing it!"
P2: "... can you have some epistism? Instead of just repeating that, why don’t you actually look up the data and see if it’s true?"
P1: "But <PoliticianHere> said it!
P2: "So you DON'T want to do research?"
P1: "That's not what I-"
P2: "Then do some research."
P1: "Ok ok, fine."
*20-30 minutes later*
P1: "Hey, uh-"
P2: :"Well?"
P1: "Yeah, so maybe I was wrong. Sorry about saying that."
P2: "Well, now you don't have to sound like a complete moron."
P1: "Yeah."

The day that Elon Musk cried, again, after trying to livestream Path of Exile 2 and getting assblasted in the games chat, with messages like "YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND WILL DIE ALONE", "YOU RUINED THE COUNTRY JUST LIKE YOU RUINED ALL YOUR MARRIAGES" and, most funnily, "Elon. It's me, Ashley St. Claire. I have no other means of contacting so I bought PoE2 early access for this. Please pay your child support. Thank you."
Elon then ended the stream after losing his hardcore permadeath character while trying to hide these messages.

P1 - I feel kinda down today...
P2 - Hey don't worry, it's Elon Musk Sobs Day. Just remember that time he tried livestreaming PoE2.
P2 - Really?? Shit, that time was actually pretty funny... Ok, ok, yeah I feel better now. I could have it way worse.
P2 - :)
